Getting An Early Digital Copy Of The Amazing Spider-man is AMAZING #SpiderManWMT

We have been waiting patiently for the early release digital copy of The Amazing Spider-Man on Vudu.com - We had October 30th circled on our calendar and Duke knew that we would get to watch it the day before Halloween because of the little viewing party I had planned.  What a treat!

We picked up Marketside pizza from Walmart because they are huge, delicious and cheap ($7.98).  Also got a package of Spider-Man masks and fun candy to keep the kids busy with a craft project I had planned out for the party.

I downloaded the Walmart exclusive Spider-Man Web-slinger app on Duke's iPod - he has been having so much fun pointing the iPod at the Marketside Spider-Man pizza box and trying to find the Lizard.   He's been making funny, sad and serious faces that he uses in the Spider-Man comic (even using his toys in place of Spider-Man's face and making me laugh so hard) - and he'll be able to do more with the app once we get the dvd in the mail.

The day for our party came and sadly, every single one of our guests cancelled out because they didn't feel like partying during Hurricane Sandy.  Totally understandable.  The whole East coast is in our hearts but a party is what NY native Spider-Man would've wanted!

My husband Chris is hilarious.  Trying to keep us in good spirits!

Duke's favorite!  Spider-Man Cheez-It

I went ahead and did the craft project while Duke watched.  Hubby was kinda amazed I pulled it off.  I kinda amazed myself too.  Duke thinks it is pretty cool.  All you need is Red Vines, Chocolate Twizzlers and mini marshmallows.

Watching on Vudu.com is easy - I logged into our account on my husband's laptop, clicked "Watch Movies" then "My Vudu" and The Amazing Spider-Man was ready for viewing!  I just had to connect our HDMI cord from laptop to our tv.

I laughed so hard when Peter Parker did a WebMD search for his symptoms.  Raise your hand if you are guilty of this.

Duke so excited that he's finally in his Spidey suit.  (He put that skeleton hand on our tv a couple weeks ago - we love it!)

Jake and The Never Land Pirates: Jake Saves Bucky DVD + Digital Copy Giveaway!

We don't have cable cause we're cool like that so when I was offered the opportunity to review this dvd, I jumped at the chance to share with my cable-deprived 6 year old.  He absolutely loved it.  He loves Peter Pan and Captain Hook so when the adventures continued with Jake and The Never Land Pirates...he was a happy pirate!  I was fascinated with the blow-up sword and he was too!  Here he is when I gave him the green light to blow it up!  

Someone is happy!

Yo ho, let's go! Set sail with Jake and his crew on a full‐length,  high-­‐speed  adventure  on  the   high   seas.   According   to   the   Never   Land   Pirate   Code,   Jake   and   his   crew   must   race   Bucky   against  the  Jolly  Roger  and  the  sneaky  Captain  Hook.  But  if  Bucky  loses, he'll  belong  to  Hook   forever.   Of   course,   Hook   uses   every   trick   in   the   book   and   wins   the   race.   But,   Jake   and   his   crew   might   have   a   way   to   get   Bucky   back.   With   the   help   of   Peter   Pan,   the   young   pirates   embark  on  an  adventure  across  Never  Land  that  includes  getting  past  a  fire-­‐breathing  dragon.   With your help, Jake's crew can save Bucky from the devious   Captain   Hook.   In   addition,   enjoy  four  more  exciting  Jake  and  the  Never  Land  Pirates  episodes.  Overflowing  with  music,   swashbuckling   action   and   seafaring   fun,  Jake   and   the   Never   Land   Pirates:   Jake   Saves   Bucky  proves  that  being  a  hero  comes  from  teamwork,  determination  and  friendship!

Available   on   Disney   DVD   October   16,   "Jake   and   the   Never   Land   Pirates:   Jake   Saves   Bucky"   Combo   Pack   comes   with   more   than   2   hours   of   DVD   content,   a   digital   copy   and   an   official   "Jake   and   the   Never   Land   Pirates"   blow-­‐up   sword.   In   addition,   fans   can   sing   along   to   all   the   fun,  swashbuckling  songs  on  a  special  Pirate-­‐oke  feature  exclusive  to  the  DVD!

Buy The Amazing Spider-Man Now, Get An Early Digital Copy! #SpiderManWMT

Superheroes rank high in my home.  Right in between pizza and ice cream.  So when we heard that we could go to Walmart to pre-purchase the DVD and receive an early digital copy online - we were all over it.  This was our first time doing this and it was so easy.  Just look for The Amazing Spider-Man Pre-Purchase display at Walmart, grab the box (looks like a regular DVD) and pay for it.  When you get home, open the box and follow the directions.  It took me less than a minute to redeem my movie on Vudu.com so I can watch the digital copy online on October 30th!  I'll be receiving the actual hard copy DVD a couple days before the movie's official November 9th release date!
 
This is what you'll be looking for!
